GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, April 30.-The stock mar
ket to-day was dull and weak. Foreigr-
ers bought some few stocks in the early
morning, and the temper of speculation
were generally bullish upon the reported
utterances of Mr.. Gould, and this was in
creased by the marked strength shown in
Missouri Pacific. The early demand soon
died away, however, leaving the market
extremely dull and somewhat IL
regular, though the general ten
dency was upward IN the forenoon,
downward during the remainder of the
day. The opening was generally firm,
while Missouri Pacific showed an advance
of I. The first few minutes of business
was marked by great activity, but the
market soon quieted down, and by the
end Of the first half hour had bacome
dull and so remained the balance of the
day. Fort Worth and Denver was
especially weak, dropping nearly points,
while the rest of list showed
but slight fluctuations and were
generally firm. Fort Worth
afterwards recovered most of its loss and
after the issue of the bank statement,
which was regarded as favorable, all
interest in transactions ceased. Quota
tons held slowly upon realizing, but the
close was dull and steady Trading
showed more activity this afternoon, the
closing being firm to strong throughout
and closing figures almost Invariably
showed advances.
Government bonds dull and steady.
